NKOTB, En Vogue, and More Spoof Classic '80s Music Videos

New Kids on the Block just released a tribute video to the '80s that reminds us of a time when mullets were cool and even the simplest dance move could go viral. In the video for their new song, "Bring Back the Time," directed by John Asher, the band - including Donnie Wahlberg, Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight, Joey McIntyre, and Danny Wood - show up dressed in full '80s attire to re-create some of the most classic music videos from the era. To add to the overwhelming wave of nostalgia, En Vogue, Salt-N-Pepa, and Rick Astley make guest appearances. "Like Rick, we roll / New Kids, En Vogue / Plus a pinch of Salt-N-Pepa / Season it, here we go," Salt raps with Pepa during the interlude.
